Anyone else sick of this?

1) people who back up and then put it into Drive before they have stopped backing up? Probably damaging not only their transmission but also other components like the engine mounts that are forced to absorb the stress. I notice women are more likely to do this.

2) people who are parked on a hill, and when they get back in and leave, you see them forcibly yanking their shifter out of Park with a big "clunk" because when they originally parked they didn't know how to do it properly. Hint for the stupid -- When you park, you are supposed to pull your parking brake BEFORE you take your foot off the brake, instead of allowing your transmission to absorb all the stress of holding the car.
